Home Listening Due March 8 + Class Work

HOME LISTENING
Due March 8
Go here.

This is a combined home listening and class assignment. Answer the questions, as usual, and send to Stella Chen before March 8. In addition, find a partner and prepare a presentation on depression, either based on personal experience, personal knowledge, or reading. Present possible solutions. You may also wish to attempt a distinction between routine sadness and clinical depression. We'll discuss these issues tomorrow in class so you can adequately prepare for next week's pair work. You may also wish to do online research on the issue though you shouldn't let that research interfere with a more personal point of view on the topic.
